FAQs
If you have questions about making this coconut milk bath recipe, I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below.
Do I have to use powdered coconut milk?
No, you don’t! You can use regular coconut milk if that’s what you have on hand. You won’t need to add cornstarch if using regular coconut milk.
Can I use different essential oils?
Yes, of course! Feel free to switch up the essential oil scent based on what you have in your collection. Sometimes, I will swap out the peppermint for lavender or even some kind of citrus!
Can I use a different type of tea?
Yes, absolutely! You can use any kind of herbal tea that won’t stain the bathtub when it dissolves.
